I have a son who loves rocky road ice cream. When I make ice cream he is in the pantry pulling out marshmallows, walnuts, chocolate chips, and anything else he thinks he can get away with trying to get me to throw in there. When I heard that we were going ot have a picnic after church last Sunday I was trying to decide what type of chocolate to supply our pastor with ( he loves chocolate almost as much as I do) and I thought about these rocky road brownies. Perfect!
They must have hit the spot they disappeared before I got to them.
These are sweetly intense little chocolate explosions in your mouth. I use cocoa rather than melted chocolate for brownies because I like the texture better and I do think you get a deeper chocolate flavor that way. This is for a 9″ square pan…I doubled everything but the glaze and used a 9×13. The glaze recipe, by the way, is something I use alot.
Speaking of sweetly intense….
